In this episode of the NeuroVeda podcast, we sit down with Sujatha Reddy, LPC, BC-TAM, BAMS, a deeply experienced mental health clinician and Ayurvedic practitioner whose work bridges ancient wisdom and modern therapeutic practice. Sujatha is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and Ohio, a Licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator in Colorado, a Board-Certified Traditional Ayurvedic Medicine practitioner, certified psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist, holosomatic breathwork therapist, and yoga therapist. With over 35 years of Ayurvedic practice in the U.S. and 25 years in the mental health field, she brings a rare depth of perspective to the conversation. She is the founder and executive director of Ayumind LLC and Heartland Wellness PLLC, and also owns a Humanly mental health franchise in Lakewood, Colorado.Together, we explore the Ayurvedic understanding of mental health as a metabolic and systemic process rather than a standalone diagnosis. Sujatha explains the concept of the koshas, the layers of self, and how disconnection across these layers contributes to anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation. She shares how the gunas shape our mental and emotional states, and how practices like breathwork, meditation, mantra, yoga therapy, and personalized Ayurvedic protocols can release stored trauma and restore balance. This episode offers a powerful look at truly integrative mental health care, blending Ayurveda, Western psychology, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to address root causes rather than symptoms, while emphasizing the importance of resilience, community, and reconnection to self in healing.TakeawaysAyurveda views mental health as a metabolic disorder.The mind is interconnected with the body and spirit.Understanding the koshas helps in addressing mental health.Disconnection from self leads to anxiety and depression.Breathwork can release trauma stored in the body.The gunas influence our mental and emotional states.Personalized programs are essential for mental health.Holistic approaches integrate body, mind, and spirit.Ayurvedic practices can enhance resilience and well-being.Community and social engagement are vital for mental health.

We talk about why mystery is not the same as thrillers, how “millennial cozies” are changing the genre, and why her books are the perfect gateway for romance readers who want puzzles, banter, and emotional payoff—without nightmare fuel.We also dig into why Jenny chose to write standalone companion novels instead of a single sleuth series, the rise of cozy mysteries set in big cities, and the nonfiction rabbit holes (poison! art theft!) that inspire her storytelling.

Sermon by Justin Gates on January 11, 2026.Key scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18In 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18, Paul reminds believers that the resurrection of the dead is certain because it is grounded in the resurrection of Jesus Himself. He also shows that the resurrection is ordered, with Christ returning first and His people being raised and gathered to Him according to God's perfect plan. Because this hope is secure and future glory is assured, believers are called to encourage one another with these words.

Message from Willie Felderman on January 11, 2026

Waiting is hard. Whether it's something small like waiting for our food to arrive, or something significant like waiting for our health to improve—no one likes to wait. But what if God was at work in our waiting? What if delays are never wasted? The Bible talks a lot about waiting, and says that it is actually a place in which we can find strength. How can that be? Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series A Biblical Guide to New Year's Resolutions.

"Apprenticeship to Jesus always produces growth." Nate digs into 2 Peter 1:1-11 and walks through what it means to be an apprentice of Jesus. There are 3 things we must do to be His apprentice: Be with Jesus, Become like Jesus, and Do what Jesus did. With a new year upon us, how are you planning on growing in your relationship with Jesus? Nate gave 2 takeaways: 1) Set aside 5-10 min each day this week to read and pray through 2 Peter 1:1-11. 2) Identify one practice that helps you be with Jesus, one attitude that needs to become more like Jesus, and one action where you can do what Jesus did - then do them this week.

What if eternity isn't escaping this world—but living in a resurrected one, fully renewed by Jesus? For many of us, our childhood picture of heaven looked more like floating on clouds than living in a place that feels real, physical, and gloriously renewed. But Scripture tells a far better story. In Revelation 21, we're given a vision of where everything is ultimately headed—a new heaven and a new earth where Jesus reigns, peace is complete, perfection is normal, and God Himself dwells personally with His people. In this message, we trace the arc from Christmas to eternity, from the birth of Jesus to His promised return. You'll learn what the Bible actually teaches about heaven, resurrection, and the future God has secured for those who trust in Jesus. No more fear. No more pain. No more distance between us and God. Just full joy, full presence, and full life forever.

Message from Mickey Connolly on January 4, 2026

As we begin a new year at Integrity Church, this standalone message calls us to start with the right foundation. From Luke 14:25–33, Mature and Multiply challenges us to honestly examine who—or what—has preeminence in our lives. Jesus makes it clear that following Him is not about adding Him to our schedules or priorities, but about surrendering everything to Him. This sermon invites us to count the cost of discipleship, reject half-hearted faith, and embrace a life where Jesus is not merely part of our lives, but our life. As we look ahead to a new year, this message sets the tone for growing in spiritual maturity and multiplying our lives for God's mission.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

A new year is a great time to pause and ask meaningful questions about life, purpose, and growth. As we step into 2026, we're starting a new series called A Biblical Guide to New Year's Resolutions, exploring what it looks like to grow intentionally as followers of Jesus. We'll begin by looking at Mark 3:13–15 and what it means to be Resolved to Be with Jesus. If you're looking for a fresh start or a deeper faith, we'd love for you to join us this Sunday.

Have you ever longed to be part of something bigger than yourself? In a powerful message, Pastor Marcus reveals how Samuel's raising of the Ebenezer stone mirrors our own journey of acknowledging God's mighty works. Through touching stories of transformation—from Kara finding her spiritual home to young Sadie's bold faith leading to baptism—we see how simple obedience to God's whispers can spark extraordinary impact. Whether you're seeking purpose or yearning to make a difference, this message illuminates how listening with "a predisposition towards action" opens doors to God's mighty works in our lives. Don't miss this inspiring vision for living beyond yourself—watch now to discover how God can use your willingness to transform lives.

Message from Iki Taimi on January 3, 2026

What does it look like to pray when you're out of control? And what happens when desperation becomes the doorway to deeper trust? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil sits down with Matt Williams to unpack what didn't make it into Sunday's sermon on desperation and prayer. From hospital rooms to unanswered prayers, they talk honestly about what it means to depend on God when control slips through your fingers. The conversation moves from the Garden of Gethsemane to everyday life, parenting, grief, career changes, and reframes prayer as relational, not transactional. It's a reminder that surrender isn't weakness; it's training for trust.   The challenge: As you step into a new year, don't just ask what you want to add. Ask what God is inviting you to lay down. Where might surrender make room for deeper dependence? Hosts: Neil Gregory & Matt Williams What We Discuss Why desperation often reveals what we truly depend on Standalone sermons and the pressure of closing out the year Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane as our model for prayer Prayer as relational rather than transactional How honesty and tears can become prayers Parenting, prayer, and reflecting the heart of the Father What it means to pray "Your will be done" when outcomes hurt The difference between hope and expectation Surrendering good things to say yes to better ones ⸻ About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky.

Pastor Jeff shows how these fulfilled prophecies validate Jesus as God in flesh, who came to do what we never could - bridge the gap between us and God through His perfect life, sacrificial death, and triumphant resurrection. Want to discover how this ancient story changes everything about your life today? Listen to this hope-filled message that unpacks why nothing is impossible with God. Watch now!
